[All right, enough of this. It's Spring and she still loves Spring (only her third Spring ever!) and Katara has decided she is going to enjoy it. No school today, so in the late morning to mid afternoon, if you are by the paths along the river you will see one (1) Katara, with a basket and her knife, taking cuttings of wildflowers. She's careful not to take too much from any one tree or bush, and she's clearly enjoying herself.]

[General Voice]
I think my favorite part about Spring is the flowers. We just didn't have anything like this where I grew up. Although in the summers I'd go on a hunt for Mouse Ears. [She pauses, remembering the last time she'd done that...] Or at least I did when I was a kid. I even found one once!

But for all you people who grew up with flowers like this - what was it like, in your Springs? Did you have any fun flower traditions?

[And after the wildflowers have been turned into bouquets, it's time to go visiting! If she hasn't seen you or heard from you in a while, and she knows where you live, your house/apartment is Fair Game.

There are, however, a few people she needs to speak with about a few specific things, so it's time for some courtesy filters! These are not very strong and mostly to prevent your journals from spam]

Hey - you up for a spar later?

[Filtered to Nami]
...are those mikans still up for grabs?

[Filtered to Trafalgar Law]
...would you mind if I stopped by?

[Filtered to Zoro]
...hey. I haven't seen you, and I think we should talk.


[Hmm. That was everyone she needed to talk to, right? Hopefully that was it. If it wasn't, she hopes she'll bump into people during the day. Like Sokka - an idea has occurred to her which needs discussing.]

You hunted for mice?

[People here ask the funniest questions--but the novelty of talking to a book is still new enough that she's perfectly happy to answer.]

My older sisters taught me to make daisy chains when I was a little girl. And there was May Day, of course. We'd make little baskets out of paper scraps, fill them with wildflowers, and leave them at neighbours' doorsteps.

These days I don't do much more than go for a walk in the park and look at all the flowers and green grass there.

[...How to handle Katara.]

...I got rid of them all, unfortunately. [Mostly to other people, but what was left was well spoiled a day or two ago.] But... if you wanted some, there are a few left on the very high branches. I was trying to get them down.

[Friendly and casual, we has it.]

You should come to the flower shop! We have lots of flowers to look at there!

[Someone new is walking along the river today. She doesn't seem to really be watching where she's going, keeping her eyes on the water as she walks instead.

Hopefully she doesn't trip over Katara.]

[Quite a New Feather, utterly starry-eyed over the technology at hand.]

Nothing much, really. It's to celebrate spring, mostly--well, when we celebrated it, it was, the unions do other things, of course. It's sort of a game--you have to knock on the door of the house you're leaving your May Day basket at, and if they open it before you've run away and hid, you owe them a kiss.

And all right, you've got me curious: You don't mean actual mouse ears, do you?

Then we should take a walk together sometime. I've been keeping track of some of the best spots where the flowers grew best last year. I could show you them.

[No, really. He really, REALLY likes flowers.]

[Between the two of them? That knife would be no issue.

The voice stops Mia in her tracks and takes her attention away from the water]


Hello. I'm sorry, I nearly walked right into you!

[identity profile] mikangirl.livejournal.com 2011-05-07 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
I don't mind. I'm ...up at the orchard right now, actually. If you wanted to stop by.

[It's been awhile since Ami's talked to Katara. So she answers after just a little while.]

Someone I knew back home loved flowers very much. I used to pick some for Mama when I was younger, too.

I'm Mia. It's nice to meet you, Katara.

[blue hair and clothes too warm for this weather.]

I have only been here for a few days.
